Hi there,

Thanks for your post. Great GPA by the way! And solid community experience... if you are able to explaining that service time and your passion for it or reasons for it in a compelling way that will be a plus as well. With your GMAT and a strong but somewhat-similar-to-others profile, while top 5 give or take (or at least HBS-GSB-Wharton) will still likely be a stretch (if you are determined, choose one just to give it a shot as you never know), the other schools will potentially be within reach IF you do a great job on essays, recommendations, interviews and really show a connection with the school as well as why you need the MBA, and what you'll bring to the class. Keep us posted, good luck!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
